She stopped the show during Rose's Turn!

Patti almost lost her balance but I think she was startled by a flash. Then she turned around and yelled "stop!" And said she had seen these people photographing 3 times and it was rude and she refused to continue until they were removed.

She thanked the rest of the audience for our good theatre etiquette. More to come!

Good for her.

Its a shame she didn't have a playbill on the stage to kick at them, cause they deserved it.

See I heard that Patti got an axe and personally chased them out of the audience.

Didn't she do that at City Center?

For her birthday, I want to buy her a digital camera. Just for irony's sake.

It's not wise to incur the wrath of Patti LuPone! from RC in Austin, Texas

What the hell? I didn't know she was an usher now, too.

I wonder if she'll do/say anything tomorrow at the closing performance if people try to take pictures or video of the curtain call/speeches.

"Didn't she do that at City Center?"

Reportedly.

I think that Patti should patrol the aisles during every performance of a show with an obnoxious 13 year old fan base, and whack them when they start yelping at inappropiate times.

You go Patti!

She already has the ushers coming all the way down front to watch the audience during that number. Ugh.

She is a brilliant performer, but she is absolutely bat sh*t crazy!

Is it true? Cause this one wasn't.

Wasn't the incident a few months ago a lie? This sounds semi-real.

This is real. I have a friend who was there and she just told me all about it.

Isn't that kinda unproffesional...?

- Omg. I didn't know that was her request? I was in the mezz, and I thought the usher just wanted to watch the number.

A report on ATC from today mentions nothing of the sort:

My guess is that it happened in the evening.

The report from ATC is the matinee.

[antiandrewx]

Posted: 1/10/09 at 11:35pm

Yup, it happened tonight.

[ljay889]

a member over at ATC posted about it now

Yes, ljay, that's by request. Also, the time when she screamed at the man with the camera during/after Rose's Turn was a true story. Updated On: 1/10/09 at 11:35 PM
